LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — An Israeli official has been indicted by a Clark County grand jury for sex crimes, documents obtained by FOX5 say.
Tom Artiom Alexandrovich was among eight suspects arrested in a sex sting conducted by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department and other law enforcement agencies. The 38-year-old is accused of using online platforms to meet a juvenile in Las Vegas.
The indictment charges him with luring children with the use of technology and the intent to engage in sex.
In September, Alexandrovich appeared in court virtually. His attorney argued there have been no reported incidents since he posted bond. He also willingly took a polygraph test and passed it.
On Aug. 6, police under a decoy account came in contact with someone, later identified as Alexandrovich, and the conversation turned sexual. According to an arrest report, Alexandrovich talked about bringing a condom and taking the decoy to a Las Vegas Strip show. The suspect said they would arrive in an Uber.
Task force officers later contacted Alexandrovich at the meeting location, and he was taken into custody at the Henderson Police Department, the report said.
In an interview with the suspect documented in the arrest report, he told police he was visiting Las Vegas for the Black Hat conference, and he had worked for the Israeli government for the past 14 years. He said he’s been in the United States for the past three months since a cryptocurrency event in New York City.
Alexandrovich claimed he thought the girl he was speaking to was 18, according to the report, as “that was the age listed on the Pure application.” He claimed the girl on the phone was “pushing” him to bring a condom to the meeting location, the report said.
